I'm a professional coach, and you basically hit every major point on the nail, notably strength, form, consistency and tune, really enjoyed this video, so many people post videos, 'you have to do this that and the other', the long and short of it is if you can repeat what you're doing and you're strong enough, you will improve, you'll crush your goals, don't chase scores, they'll come by themselves. So many times people want to get better and expect a coach to sprinkle magic dust on them if you don't shoot a lot, don't expect to become an amazing archer. Great work.

Legit thought he was gonna say "day 1, hour 0" for a second

[ZNA_Productions]

This is a great idea! I'll be featuring you in my build review series I'm starting, and i think I'll take part in this challenge as well as challenge my subscribers to take part. Thanks for the vid man.

[StitchesLovesRats]

The master has failed more times than the novice has tried.
Your video is still inspiring and you STILL improved.

[philais]

Great improvement, Excellent discipline.
My goal is to get out of bed before 8 for the next 30 days....
Wish me luck!

Here's a suggestion. It's almost like at the moment you release, you go from focusing on the target to trying to see the result of your shot. Totally forget about where the arrow hits the target. When you pull back and aim, let's call that "In the Zone". After you release, remain "In the Zone" for a split second or two longer. It kind of looks like your reaction the see the result of your shot might be tweaking your accuracy. It's like riding a motorcycle around a really long, wide curve. You keep your eyes fixed where you want your motorcycle to go, and not where you motorcycle is going. Your body will follow where your eyes lead you.

Keep it up young man! Enjoy archery! Me : 100+ arrows a day for 300+ days a year for 35 years. Didn’t miss a day from 1985 to 2000. Missed days after I had kids.

[shamusarms]

I’d like to see a the chart showing the improvement! What day on one axis and score on the other

[huntingmissouri]

One thing i see is your target, you need to replace your 1 inch bullseye when it not very visible, you are focusing on the 4 inch, you need to be locked on the 1 inch every shot, aim small miss small, good video tho, late bud!

[georgesakellaropoulos]

Comes back from hunting. "Did you have any luck?" "Yep. I got 3 small pancakes."

[silverrain]

I'm a random recreational archer and I realized how I could definitely improve. I am going to try to maintain daily practice, as well. I don't normally find these type of videos motivational, but your journey is very relatable for me and I admire your open mind, analysis of your errors and zeal to correct them!

[JavierChiappa]

It's funny how when the ego gets involved the score dropped. Archery it's a Zen thing, for sure.

[tcat]

Watching “the push” a few years ago was life changing. I went from a paper plate group at 30yds to a Copenhagen can at 30yds.

[cherno]

Dude, you inspired me to do the same. During this whole corona thing everything is closes becouse of corona, even my school (kinda fun). I'v just build my own archery range in my backyard of about 20 yards so this is what I'ma do today. First, build a proper target. Then, wait for my new bowstrings to arrive tomorrow (i'll soon be able to make my own using your string jig design but for now i'll have to do with orders strings). Then, shoot every day 100 arrows. Thanks for inspiring me!

Edit: I've got about the same anchor as you

[nickchristian]

My mans. Damn you're candid, I love it. I appreciate it so much. You deserve every sub you have an so many more. You're editing is fantastic and the music is always choice. Keep it up!

[joshs]

Dude. I'm impressed.
I think that many of us should do this. Keep score and track progress.
What you accomplished is amazing.
You moved your group in 30 days what many of us have been working years to do.

But you better not F'ing stop. I want to see that 350 video!
We and your viewers and your fans want to see you succeed!

Keep it up.

I've been shooting the SAME recurve bow for 52 years so I'd like to share a few thoughts, if I may. You need to realize the role that fletching plays in arrow accuracy is pretty critical. At the end you are shooting arrows that clearly should have been reflected about 1, 000 shots ago! And you are hoping to shoot fantastic groups using arrows with worn out fletching? Not likely to happen! Rip the fletching off and reflect a batch of arrows, then shoot another 100 rounds for another week. I'm willing to bet you will hit your 350 at least once during that time with better fletching.

But also be sure to check all your arrows for other defects too. An archer SHOULD check every single arrow before every shot. Things happen when you keep shooting the same arrows over and over. If you find any of your arrows have become twisted or bent, split anywhere, or have any other defects that could affect accuracy, discard them until you can repair or replace them.

Check your bow every day before shooting too. Be sure the brace height hasn't become altered due to string stretch from so many shots. Be sure the string is in good shape and that essentially every part of your equipment is in top notch condition. Firing so many shots day after day wears down equipment and that alone will greatly reduce your consistency and accuracy.

I believe you have enhanced your accuracy immensely but may be struggling with equipment that is not in the same good condition as it was 3, 000 shots earlier! I don't blame the equipment, mind you, but it only makes sense to keep your equipment in tip top shape as you progress through so many shots in such a short time span.

I trust you are shooting instinctively by focusing on the TARGET only and not trying to fix the gap between the arrow tip and the target. The principle that has long been shown to work BEST is for you to binge shoot like you have just done while focusing your eye ONLY on the target itself. Your body's muscle memory will "work out" the right actions needed to coordinate the draw, release, follow through, etc. so that you will hit the target once the muscles have shot enough repetitions to get a feel for where the arrow lands as your body makes slight adjustments. Don't try to over think it! Just relax, look dead at the target, and shoot. It is the same way you would shoot a basketball. You don't think about the shot mechanics. Your body just does the work for you. Same thing for throwing a football or baseball. It's pure hand-eye coordination that gives you success. The more you try to concentrate your mind on the task, the more you DEFEAT the efforts of your body to do the task from muscle memory.

What to do from here? Just keep shooting a decent amount of arrows every single day from here on out. How many free throws does a basketball shooter need to shoot? They NEVER stop practicing. You will at some point reach a practical maximum for your ability. Just as you may never bowl a perfect game of 300, you may never shoot a perfect 500 archery score either. But you don't have to in order to be a great archer or a good bow hunter. You absolutely, beyond ANY doubt already can shoot well enough to consistently kill deer, turkey, or other game animals. Every shot doesn't have to be a perfect bulls eye. Any shot in that pie plate is capable of killing a deer and the vast majority of your shots easily hit the pie plate.

I really enjoyed your video and wish you the best success in all your archery pursuits. You have also inspired me. I am going to do my own 30 day shooting test to see how much I can improve. I'm not sure I am going to be brave enough to post all of them on my channel however! We will see how it goes first. HA!

[garysmith]

Brilliant. Due to the lockdown I’ve attempted 100 per day at 30 yards. Nine days to go. This really helps. Well done Kramer.

[feralgrandad]

Well, I now know what I'm going to be doing during this lockdown. Really great video. I love how you've worn down a path to and from your target.

[bebo]

8:56 Those arrows are way too stiff for that bow. Be sure to spine arrows correctly. Your accuracy will improve greatly.
